Bubbles, Bubbles, BUBBLES!

The bubbles are coming, the bubbles are coming!!!

Sometimes, the simplest things are the best.

Bubbles are a prime example!

Much like dancing and good music,

if you need to turn the mood or the day around...

bubbles tend to do the trick!

They are fun to chase, fun to pop, fun to blow...

Children of ALL ages seem to LOVE them!

We blow our bubbles everywhere...

Inside (a little extra soap on the carpet never hurts,

especially when you run the carpet cleaner frequently)

Outside- in all seasons bubbles are BIG fun!

In the winter snow, you can really see all of the colors in the bubbles as the light hits them...

AND if it is cold enough, the bubbles freeze and shatter like glass when you pop them!

EVEN... in the car!!!

I like to keep a small container of bubbles in the car for those long rides.

They are a great way to keep infants, toddlers, and travel weary children entertained!

There are so many fun things you can use to blow bubbles, here are a few:

Potato Mashers

Hat Driers

Funnels

Plastic Berry Baskets

Hula Hoops

Giant Bubble Blowers

Straws

Pipe Cleaners

Onion Bags

“Foam”-erators

We usually make our own bubbles,

but when I see a good clearance sale I do buy some from the store!

Have you been blowing bubbles lately?

What are your favorite ways to blow bubbles/items to use?

What Would You Do With It? Wednesday #4, Cardboard Tubes (Toilet Paper, Paper Towel, etc)

Welcome to this week's edition of What Would You Do With It? Wednesday. This week's item(s) are paper tubes. You most often find them at the end of a roll of toilet paper or paper toweling. I'm having trouble hunting up the photos I was going to post for this, so when I find them, I will add them. We have made: rain sticks kaleidoscopes marble runs and we have also cut the tubes and made them into flowers or snowflakes like these. If you would like to visit and link to some of our previous What Would You Do With It Wednesdays, please click here.

Making Moon Mud!

We usually make our moon sand with cornstarch , sand, and baby oil. However a blog reader commented that when they make their moon sand- they use water instead of oil. So, of course, my first thought was- why make moon sand when you could make MOON MUD? And so you have it- our homemade moon mud! Basically, it ends up being a sandy- runny oobleck! It acts kind of like a solid- and kind of like a liquid..... Now, I'm sure I will get all kinds of questions on the exact recipe and proportions to make this stuff..... The truth is, we rarely measure. We just mix it up until it looks and feels about right! Today, we made ours with too much water. (It was an experiment.) So, we removed some off the top. After we were done playing in the mud- we let it sit. A little bit more of the water evaporated while we napped.... Then, this afternoon- It was perfect! Hard as a rock on the bottom, until you dig into grab it... Then....
